The pack

GT New Horizons

A long-form GregTech questing pack for Minecraft 1.7.10. GT New Horizons takes the 1.7.10 modding scene and balances it around one continuous climb: stone tools, steam, electricity, chemistry, nuclear power, fusion, and finally the Stargate.

What is inside

Tech progression

GregTech

Fifteen voltage tiers, from bronze steam machines to UXV. Ore processing chains, chemistry, multiblocks and the Stargate at the very end.

Guided run

Quest book

Thousands of quests explain the pack's own recipes and unlock order. It is the fastest way to learn GTNH and the authority for this server.

Side progression

Thaumcraft & magic

Thaumcraft, Botania, Blood Magic and Witchery are integrated into the tech tree instead of bolted on, with GTNH-specific recipes.

Logistics

AE2 & automation

Applied Energistics 2, OpenComputers, ProjectRed and Logistics Pipes let you automate a factory that spans dozens of multiblocks.

Dimensions

Space

Rockets, planets, space dungeons and the Mothership. Off-world resources feed the late-game chains — and the Stargate needs them.

1.7.10, modernised

Quality of life

NEI, JourneyMap, inventories, backpacks, lootbags and performance mods are curated so the pack is playable despite its age.

Installing

  1. 1

    Pick a launcher

    Prism Launcher is the recommended choice. CurseForge and Technic also ship GTNH; Prism makes it easiest to keep several instances and versions side by side.

  2. 2

    Install the exact version

    Install GT New Horizons 2.9.0 for Minecraft 1.7.10 / Forge. Do not mix versions: the server will reject a mismatched client and recipes will differ.

  3. 3

    Allocate memory and Java

    Use Java 17–25 and assign 4–6 GB of RAM to the instance. GTNH is a large pack; too little memory causes stutter and crashes, not just slow loading.

  4. 4

    Join and follow the quest book

    Open the quest book on first login. It walks you through the changed early game and tells you which machines to build next.

Update warning

GTNH updates should be done as a clean reinstall. Launcher “update” buttons regularly leave stale mods behind, which breaks recipes and can crash the client. Copy your saves and backups folders across afterwards — and never update in the middle of a server-wide version change.

Server owners

The GTNH repo publishes the client/server zips and a dedicated server pack. Keep the server on 2.9.0 and match it on every client that connects.
